You Can Depend on Me
Reliable Love: Everlasting Commitment in Song
Lyrics
Just as long as that old river flows
Commitment enduring like the continuity of a river's flow.
The sun comes up and that north wind blows
Assurance that despite changes, certain things remain constant, like the rising of the sun and the blowing of the north wind.
Just as sure as these are guaranteed
Confidence in promised certainties.
Honey, you can depend on me
Pledge of reliability and steadfastness.
This day and time, lovers come and go
Observation on contemporary relationships that often lack permanence.
When it seems, there's no one left to hold
Sense of loneliness when meaningful connections seem absent.
For so many, when the morning comes around
Reflecting on the transient nature of companionship for many.
But girl, you can bet, this ol? boy can't be found
Emphasizing that amidst transience, the speaker remains steadfast.
Just as long as that old river flows
Reiteration of the commitment likened to the continuity of the river.
The sun comes up and that north wind blows
Reaffirmation of the constancy symbolized by the sun and north wind.
Just as sure as these are guaranteed
Restating confidence in assured certainties.
Honey, you can depend on me
Reassuring the reliability and trustworthiness of the speaker.
Together, never to part
Commitment to unity and staying together.
Forever, you can bet your heart
Promise of eternal togetherness, emphasizing trust.
Just as long as that old river flows
Continued commitment likened to the enduring river.
The sun comes up and that north wind blows
Reiteration of the constancy represented by nature's elements.
Just as sure as these are guaranteed
Restating confidence in guaranteed assurances.
Honey, you can depend on me
Reaffirming the dependability of the speaker.
Oh, together, never to part
Reiteration of commitment to staying together.
Forever, you can bet your heart
Reassuring eternal togetherness and trust.
Just as long as that old river flows
Continued commitment likened to the river's everlasting flow.
The sun comes up and that north wind blows
Reaffirming constancy through natural elements.
Just as sure as these are guaranteed
Restating confidence in assured certainties.
Honey, you can depend on me
Reiterating the reliability and steadfastness of the speaker.
Together and forever in sweet harmony
Commitment to perpetual unity and harmony.
You can depend on me
Assurance of the speaker's dependability.
